“Well, if you need anything, you can always count on us,” Noemi said, grabbing my hand with her uninjured hand.

She was still wearing a cast from the assault she and Easton were in a few weeks ago.

“Thanks,” I said, hoping I would never come to them crying again.

Embarrassment hit me again, something I had not felt in a long time.

“I mean we could?—”

“Nope, we are not doing this here,” I interrupted Vincent. “Go have fun, lovebirds!”

I gave each of them a kiss on the cheek, but Easton held me still.

“Don’t let them get away, Mistress,” he said softly. “I know you think that you can do this all on your own, but there is nothing better than knowing you don’t have to do it alone.”

I clenched my jaw as he kissed my cheek, hoping I didn’t cry here. It seemed Camila and Luke had opened the emotional floodgates and lately all I did was get choked up or cry.

“Shit, I didn’t mean to?—”

“It’s ok, now go enjoy your wedding night and don’t break anything else,” I said, pushing my emotions away.”

They laughed, but Easton still looked worried.

“Go, I’m ok,” I said, pushing him towards his family.

“If you don’t call me in a few days we are breaking down your apartment door!” he yelled as they dragged him out of the restaurant.

My chest felt tight as I checked my phone again with no update from Camila. I pursed my lips, trying to take a deep breath as a myriad of emotions hit me again. My lip trembled and I debated whether jumping on a plane to go to them was insane.

“Oh, I know that look.”

I looked up to see Lincoln, Vincent's business partner standing on the other side of the table. I had only spoken to him a few times before and I knew he was a Dom too.

“There was no look,” I said, grabbing my purse.

“Oh, that was definitely a look,” he chuckled. “The look of ‘what the fuck have I gotten myself into and is it worth it to dive in headfirst?’.”

I scowled. “Christ, Vincent has a big mouth.”

He laughed. “He does, but I promise you that I don’t know anything, but that is the same look I got when I screwed up and I had to decide if the pain was worth it.”

“And was it?”

He looked over to a pregnant woman and another man walking towards us. He looked just as lovesick as Vincent. What the hell was in the Denver water?

“Hell yes,” he said, looking back at me. “Have a good night, Genevieve.”

“Night,” I grumbled, watching him walk up to them and they all kissed.

I put my coat on before grabbing my things and walked out ready to either make the biggest mistake of my life or the best. It seemed I had drunk the water too, because I wanted what they had, but that didn’t mean it didn’t still scare the shit out of me.

Apparently,Lubbock was the closest airport to fly to and then I would still need to drive an hour and half to the farm. I wouldn’t be able to get to them until tomorrow night. I had no idea when they were coming home so I waited to hear from them that evening, but they didn’t call.

When I woke up to the phone ringing, I almost fell out of bed to answer it.

“Hey,” I said, a little breathlessly.

“Good morning to you too,” Cheryl said, and I tried not to feel disappointed.
